Parenting:green fingered fun with a B&M Bargains gardening set...
What: an insect inspired gardening tool set.
Where: you can purchase this particular product from B&M bargains for £2.49.
Why: investing in an insect inspired gardening set is not only an effective way to encourage children to enjoy a fun form of outdoor exercise - an action that can promote a positive perception of physical activity leaving little'uns less likely to lead a sedentary lifestyle in later life - but it can also teach tots' how to establish healthier eating habits from an early age - giving our offspring the opportunity to grow their own garden can ignite an interest in troublesome tastes and textures whilst making healthier (and less favourable!) food sources such as fruit and vegetables appear more fun to fussy eaters.
Top tip: green fingered fun doesn't just improve fitness, it can also aid child development by strengthening physical, cognitive, language, emotional and social skills - particularly when tots' are given the freedom to plant, pick and prepare their own produce.
